For starters, SRT has long teased that the Hellcat-powered Challenger would make more than 600 hp. Many assumed it wouldn’t surpass that number by too much. But it has. And it’s surprising because the Challenger SRT Hellcat makes more than SRT’s halo car, the Viper, which puts out 640 hp and 600 lb-ft from its naturally aspirated 8.4-liter V-10. It also surpasses its competitors including the Ford Shelby GT500 (45 hp and 19 lb-ft more) and the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 (127 hp and 94 lb-ft more).

That said, we’re eager to hear how much Dodge will price the new 2015 Challenger SRT Hellcat. The Viper starts at around $104,000 and it’s safe to assume that the Challenger SRT Hellcat will be priced much lower than the mighty Viper. So if you had to choose between the two SRT coupes, would you go with the upcoming Challenger Hellcat musclecar or the Viper sports car? Sound off in the comments below.
